got a sugar momma... im lucky i suppose. i understand your frustrations. i dont really want to go there... just getting bored out of the skull. starbucks isnt even hiring here. thank goodness for unemployment
If you want to see your sugar momma, I hope you live in base or get a normal job that pays over $20,000/year and you can see here every night. Wait for the industry to pick back up, its already happening.

You got to love the irony that EMPLOYED pilots are more than willing to DEMAND what job (an unemployed pilot) do/do not take....then it finally hit me,
NO matter where you go to work someone will get their panties twisted over it.....:rolleyes: |

Sad to say that is how they get away with poverty pay. It is the same as your parents supporting you. For pilots that have to support a family you are doing no good at fixing the problem.

Wait for the industry to pick back up, its already happening. Incorrect. We are telling you not to go work for poverty pay. If you are unemployed you should not go some where, where the pay is lower than unemployment. Its always going to happen... people need jobs and the airlines know this. nothing is going to change. It really sucks every thread turns out like this, no matter WHO is hiring. the sugar momma knows how it is. thats the career path i have chosen. |

Even though pilots will still go to those places, it doesn't mean we can't say don't do it. I really hope you don't do it either. You have a sugar momma, just wait it out and hold out for something good. Your in a good situation and the industry isn't going anywhere right now anyways. |
Anybody who does come to Lakes better have a backbone and be willing to stand up for themselves when it comes to fatigue and poor scheduling practices. Yes, the pay and work rules at Lakes are atrocious. There is no defending the place. Lots of people use the "well, we make more per passenger seat than the other regionals" argument. That may be mostly true, but it doesn't make the pay ok. Before you come here, realize you will be miserable and extremely poor. The people are cool but that only helps so much. Also realize that after 11 months here, if you want to leave, you're going to have to either suck it up and stay another 4 months or pay the training contract off. My advice is to stay away, but it's up to you.

Who really cares about Great Lakes!!!! Will you apply to make 18hour.
Let's all be realistic a Airline Pilot making 18.00hour, just look back everything that you did before, look yourself in the mirror and ask you if you deserve that? This is what we need here people that fights for the rights the human’s rights. People like this: Irish air traffic controllers to walk out over pay, pensions - USA today. Union sets new strike vote against British Airways - USA Today. Air France strike causes chaos - (Severe disruptions to Air France flights are expected after pilots began a four-day strike against legal changes to the retirement age from 60 to 65) - BBC Spanish Airline Strike Leads To Hundreds Of Flight Cancellations - (This strike has been called by the unions CTA and SITCPLA, in protest of a four-year pay freeze for around 4,300 cabin staff.) - BBC What do we fight for to apply to make 18.00hour as an Airline Pilot ops Part 121. Yes that one the one with people, passenger. Joke or Truth |
